Xavier girls make history, win 7th straight soccer title

Cedar Rapids Xavier got a battle, but stuck it out to win an Iowa best 7th straight state championship 3-1 over North Scott.

Xavier opened the scoring in the first half on a strong, deflected shot by Annie Dale. Kayla Armstrong added some needed insurance with a second half goal. North Scott's Chloe Gottschalk tallied a late goal to pull the Lancers within one, but Armstrong's second goal of the game in the final minute put the nail in the coffin.

With the win, Xavier became the only girls program in any sport to win 7 straight state titles in Iowa.
